Take account of yourselves before you are brought to account.
As long as you are pure of heart, you speak the truth.
Do not be an arrogant scholar, for scholarship cannot subsist with arrogance.
I am surprised at three things: 1. [A] man runs from death while death is inevitable. 2. One sees minor faults in others, yet overlooks his own major faults. 3. When there is any defect to one's cattle he tries to cure it, but does not cure his own defects.
